doc: add details on mapAttrsRecursive[Cond]
(#293509)
* doc: add details on `mapAttrsRecursive[Cond]` from first reading it wasn't clear that `f` also takes the current attribute path. also the value f receives is tricky due to how the condition is evaluated. Co-authored-by: Daniel Sidhion <DanielSidhion@users.noreply.github.com>
